Congressman Don Young Files for Re-Election

Anchorage, Alaska - Alaskan Congressman Don Young released the following statement this morning after he filed for re-election today at the Division of Elections in Anchorage, Alaska:

"This morning I officially became a candidate for the seat held by Alaska in the U.S. House of Representatives. I love this State and have loved representing you for the past 36 years and because of that I am running for another term and I am running hard.

“I was humbled by the tremendous support I received during the last election and I am grateful to my fellow Alaskans for allowing me to represent you in Congress for another term. But my work is not done for the State of Alaska just yet. Together, we have done great things and together we can accomplish so much more.

"We are a huge state with only one representative in the House. The only way anything can get done for our state is to stand up and fight for it, and I've done that well for you all throughout my career and for a state I love and a state I proudly call home. With your support, Lu and I look forward to continuing to stand up for Alaska!"
